The administration now wants tens of thousands of pharmacies to allow people to walk in for shots. To build up confidence in vaccines, federal officials plan to enlist the help of family doctors and other emissaries who are trusted voices in their communities. Until now, if states failed to order all of the doses allotted to them on the basis of population, they could carry over that supply to the next week. Mr. Biden also announced a new federal website and phone number that will help people find the vaccination site closest to them. “We’re going to make it easier than ever to get vaccinated,” he promised.
